What do you use to keep yours clean and avoid the funkiness?

We made dozens of ocean dives in our Monterey Bay wetsuits, sometimes sweating like crazy, and never encountered funk. We just dunked 'em in fresh water and hung them up to dry outdoors (out of direct sunlight).
You can buy wetsuit hangers & bootie/glove drying racks (or make them as Al shows) that will allow air to circulate while they're hanging. Others turn theirs inside-out until dry but that's never seemed to be worth the hassle.
We've had ours for over 20 years. These days they only get used once or twice a year, but they're in fine shape.
